Ernie Crediford was hiking Badger Mountain on Memorial Day a few years back and noticed purple sage in bloom. The color reminded him of the Purple Heart medal given to military service members wounded in combat.
"I was thinking, how unique that on Memorial Day we have these purple flowers," he said.
It sparked an idea that recently came to fruition.
Chris Macourek caught a segment on the national news a few years back about a nonprofit that sends simple dresses to needy girls in Africa.
Her husband had died about six months before, and "I thought doing some volunteer work would be good therapy," she told the Herald.
It's turned out to be more than that. The Richland woman and a team of faithful Tri-City area seamstresses are on the cusp of sending off their 3,000th dress to the Michigan-based Little Dresses for Africa, which distributes the garments to orphanages, churches and schools.
